Scott Russell writes: "The message delivered at the beginning of Mafia III is a note to those that are suffering, have suffered, and to the millions that have never even felt the slightest brush of bigotry or violence. Atrocities within the game are not taken lightly, and successfully present the grim realities of 1960s America through palpability and blood. Converse to this message, and in true, petty Northern Irish-political form, the NI Unionist party are unhappy with the game's portrayal of the so-called Irish Civil War – "The Troubles" – as well the IRA, and the plight of its many victims. This, as you may expect, is a pile of horse shit."
More people should be making a trip to this bayou.
Agreed....game was fantastic. Especially as a person of color, I enjoyed the side missions.
I'm Black myself, which is different from Lincoln who is bi racial. (It's trendy to ignore that mixed people are half White for some reason) What would color have to do with enjoying a game like this? Imagine if people playing God of War were like "Gee, I'm enjoying playing as a White person right now". If we want others to relate to things other than skin color, we have to start setting an example as "People of Color" (That term is so stupid btw)
I wonder if this comment will get removed like mine? It shouldn't but I'm just curious.
"What would color have to do with enjoying a game like this?"
Skin colour matters a lot in the story and setting of Mafia 3. It even affects the gameplay.
The comparison to God Of War doesn't make sense.
I'm Irish (as in, a person born in Ireland), and I'd probably enjoy a game where you can fight in the Irish War of Independence ... a bit more than the average Brit. lol. Who cares? If a British person "Imagine if ...", I'd just laugh.
*said "Imagine if ..."
Also, it is cool when you play an Irish character in a game who doesn't put on a leprechaun accent like Tom Cruise did. "Shannon! Tell me you like my hat!" https://youtu.be/eKrEVWGTuR...
I played it once and it was very frustrating compared to mafia 2 I like to enjoy games not get raged all up 😂😂
The game looked interesting, and from the trailers it seemed it had a great soundtrack, but the buggy release (AI) and disappointing reviews made me pass on it. No idea if they ever fixed its shortcomings post-launch.
They could only polish a turd so much. Wasn't good at release and isn't good now.
People said that about Wolfenstein:Youngblood. I played youngblood and it is a masterpiece and so awesome and entertaining and badass, with ray tracing too. Is Mafia 3 a great game on its own merit? I understand compared to the other Mafias, you feel it's weak.
From VG247: "If you’ve been enjoying either Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA V, or Mafia: The Definitive Edition in VR thanks to some handy fan-made mods, we’ve got some bad news. Thanks to a DMCA claim by Take Two Interactive - the parent company of Rockstar Games and 2K - has led development on the most popular VR mods to grind to a halt.
This news comes via Luke Ross - the sole creator of a variety of VR mods for the aforementioned games - who released a lengthy post to his supporters. In it, he claims to have received a DMCA request from Take Two Interactive for his projects and that the company requested that he “remove all their copyrighted works from [his] Patreon page”. This was confirmed by Kotaku who reached out to Patreon directly."
I mean, if he was modding a game that someone else built, and charging for it on patreon - this seems pretty cut and dry for a DMCA.
If he was not profiting from it in any way though, would be nice to let companies let this shit slide more often
KeenGamer: "Mafia 3 has a huge cast of characters - good, bad, and both - but these 10 characters were the ones who stood out the most. With Mafia 3 set in the 1960's, these characters are influenced by the ever-changing times and the people surrounding them."
The hypocrisy of ignoring the clear & straight message of racism which 2K have to be commended for their straight up approach at the start of the game without hiding away from it. Yet complaining about the very smallest & most insignifificant part of the game has to surely make you realise how pathetic your cause is.
Racist white people get hurt so quickly when you point out the truths of society especially in America. Yet they can call any race any thing and do anything to anyone whenever they please and it's alright. It's so ridiculous. This is why I bought the Deluxe version of the game (couldn't find collectors unfortunately). I bought this game to support 2k in the fact in allowing and supporting for such a game to be made in this timeframe when in fact all of this BS is happening to the day. SMH ugh
Another pro-SJW clickbait article.
Nobody cares. We've already had our video game battle in the states, free speech and all that. I don't know how Ireland works but they should handle business regardless and keep that business to themselves. There is nothing wrong with the games racism and portrayals of the time period.
It's a game about gangsters. The black mob shouldn't be running cars for the IRA anyways.. In my playthrough I will only hook up the Haitian chick so it seems like a black mob story.
Politicians should stay the hell out of gaming.
